DOUBLE DUTY... CENTRAL VALLEY CON & PWB LAST RIGHTS: FUTURES END...
By Mike Vanek
It's 5:45am I just got home from work a couple hours ago but I'm up and wake and late... I have to go help set up the wrestling ring...
10 minutes later I'm rolling down Virginia Avenue pouring a grape 5150 energy drink a band gave me just a few hours before. I was super excited for a full day and night of WRESTLING!! So I'm rolling down the street arriving at Central Valley con at the majestic Modesto Centre Plaza a venue I know very well as I work concerts there from time to time. So I rolled through the back door and made my self at home...
Rolling in at quarter after 6am and shortly after hooking up with my son James we strolled around as the venders set up their booths. It was a cavalcade of toys, Movies and comic books of all varieties in one room then a whole other cornucopia of comics and artists in another!! The 2 of us were in nerd heaven!!
Soon after we met up with birthday boy Bobby Hart and the crew from Pro wrestling Bushido and we began unloading the ring into the end of the lobby in the Centre Plaza. As we loaded the ring Bobby blistered my son in Star Wars trivia and when we were done the treasure hunt began. 
It would be a while before wrestling started so I took the boy shopping and before the doors even opened he had a bag full of Star Wars figures, baseball cards, and comic books... He made out like a bandit!!
After a while it was time for wrestling!! I was worried about how many matches I would make because I had to take the kid home and I was as tired as tired gets before you fall asleep in public. But I soldiered through it... But I knew I'd need a power nap before the huge show at the Fat Cat PWB was putting on that night!!
The 1st match was awesome!! It featured Ethan White with his manager Lucian D. Light vs one of my favorite up an coming wrestlers Will Roberts the winner of the APW Young Lions Cup which he proudly brought to the ring to display to the crowd that slowly milled over to the wrestling area with great interest...
Handling announcing duties was veteran announcer/manager extraordinaire of APW, BTW & PCW just to name a few... The Voice Donovan Troi!! Working without a mic or PA system his voice carried above the growing crowd announcing this great match that was as physical as it was entertaining!! 
The next match was new comer "Fun Size" vs "Wrestling personified" Rik Luxery in front of a now huge crowd these guys exchanged blows and matched moves as the crowd oohed and awed to the action as they cheered on the combatants between making their way to the different rooms of the con.
After this match concluded I had to take my son home and soon after his mom picked him up I was down for the count... I really enjoyed the CV CON and can't wait for the next one...
After a couple hour power nap I was up and ready to go back downtown to the Fat Cat for the huge Pro Wrestling Bushido show: LAST RIGHTS, FUTURES END!! The annual PWB anniversary show was no disappointment as every match was all killer and no filler!!
After a short trip back into town and a quick visit by the Modesto Police department for reasons far beyond my understanding I was back at my favorite place in the world The Fat Cat Music House & Lounge and stoked for a full night of wrestling action!! There was a hum of birthday wishes and the return after a short break from ring action the anticipation level was at a fever pitch for the return of PWB head hancho and birthday boy Bobby Hart which was the main topic of conversation as I made my way around the room...
The event started with PWB announcer Shawn Michael Allen (SMA) in the middle of the ring holding the interim Heavyweight Championship with a special announcement. The announcement was that PWB Adam Thornstow had suffered an injury and would be out of action for some time and that there would be a triple threat match to determine a interim Heavyweight Champion and once Adam returns he will face the winner of that match to determine the true champion!! That triple threat was announced to be the main event of the evening...
The first match was Manny Mars vs Young Lions Cup Champ Will Roberts. This was a smashingly good match where the combatants traded high flying and high impact moves.
The next match featured my favorite independent tag team Drake Frost and Mr Punishment Sir Samurai "The Honor Society" vs Scoot Robertson and the Thunder League featuring now in the role as TL manager the Voice Donavan Troi with Thunder Rosa at ringside.
This PWB tag team title match was action packed with the smart power wrestling style of the honor society vs the vicious take no prisoners style of The Thunder League.
This match went back & fourth UNTILL Samurai and Frost were double crossed by the referee who removed his uniform to unveil the thunder league shirt beneath!! 
With replacement ref in place the Honor Society took the victory only to be viciously assaulted by all of Thunder Leaguers incapacitating the tag team champions and leaving with the Honor Society's belts while Sir Samurai had to be helped to the back. 
I look forward to seeing how this rivalry unfolds in the near future!!
The 3rd match pitted Mike Mathews vs Ryan McQueen. These two high quality wrestlers fought a brutal match which led into the intermission these guys left it all in the ring which ended with a Mike Mathews victory only to be rampaged by a masked monster and his mgr...
The next match was quite controversial!! For the PWB TV TITLE!! It was with one of my very favorite up & coming warriors of the ring the brash young Daniel Torch (TV CHAMP) flanked by "The Cure" (w/ The Perfect Kings and Christina Von Eerie) After making their way to the ring Torch grabbed the mic and sent his Perfect King comrades to the back where they brutally attacked his opponent Virgil Flynn and brought him beaten to the ring when the squared circle was then bombarded by Bushido Club members Rik Luxery & Airon Sky!! 
Where chaos would soon in sue if it wasn't for the quick thinking referee who sent The Cure and Bushido Club to the back so this match could be fair as possible!!
These two guys beat the living crap out of other!! 
A true ring war that enraged the rivalry between the two former tag team partners and friends... 
This battle ended in controversial style as Daniel Torch pulled the Referee in between him and Virgil as Mr Flynn came flying in from the corner!! This incapacitated the referee and the battle continued UNTILL the ref came to and called the match due to interference on DT's part but this entitled Mr Torch to keep his TV title. When he realized this he exploded to the stage to get his belt then flew around the building in true punk rock style!! 
The feud between these two former partners is far from over!! And I feel it will get ugly from here!!!
The next match was an incredible 6 PERSON tag team match of gigantic proportions!! This was BUSHIDO Club (Bobby "The Axe Murderer" Hart, "Wrestling Personified" Rik Luxery & Airon Sky) vs The Cure (The Perfect Kings & Global Force Wrestling Women's champion Christina Von Eerie) which was one of the most hard fought and well executed matches I have seen in a long time!!
After The Cure was announced and came out in their bombastic hardcore punk rock style leaving a pile of championship belts in the corner.
Then the crowd erupted for the team that people came from fat and wide to see The Bushido Club.
Introduced separately the crowd all cheered the loudest when home town hero and on his birthday Bobby Hart exploded into the ring!! BC dominated a the good part of this match with the incredible high flying Airon Sky, The Precise wrestling ability of Rik Luxery and the all out domination of the powerful Bobby Hart. The Cure put up one hell of fight but fell short as Bushido Club took the victory.
Then the birthday celebrations
continued as a lot of the wrestlers came into the ring with a huge birthday cake for Bobby and the crowd sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him. A sworn of ballons were released from above to the ring in his honor. This was a very emotional moment as Bobby has had a pretty difficult year and I have to say the Axe Murderer is back in dominant fashion!!!
The main event started with announcer SMA in the middle of the ring with the interim PWB Heavyweight Championship. He announced once again that this would be a triple threat match to determine a interim Heavyweight champion and the winner would be champion UNTILL the injured PWB Heavyweight Champion Adam Thornstow was healthy enough to wrestle and he would face the winner of this match.
The combatants were announced one by one... It was B Boy vs Mr Athletic Jeff Cobb (2004 Olympic Wrestler) vs The War Pig Jody Kristofferson!!! 
This was a crazy good match that pitted the powerful War Pig against the athletically gifted Olympian vs the hard hitting high flyer!! 
This match was everything you would want in a main event for the belt!! Jody Kristofferson showed why he was the 2015 Warriors Way tournament winner with his all out powerful assault that was matched by the all out skill of Mr Athletic Jeff Cobb which these guys are both 2 of the most popular wrestlers in Nor Car up against the ferocity that is B boy!! 
Jeff Cobb with standing spring board backflip plancha's just were no match for the the WAR PIG!! 
Jody Kristofferson captured the PWB interim heavyweight championship in one hell of a match!! 
All 3 competitors gave it 110% in what could be called the match of the year. Now the War Pig Jody Kristofferson will represent PWB as champion and will face Adam Thornstow when the time comes!! 
THIS WAS AN AMAZING SHOW!! Hats off to Pro Wrestling Bushido for putting on another amazing show!! Every time PWB puts on a show they do not disappoint at all!! We encourage you to check out one of their amazing shows!!
